  1. Re:Benefits of DNSSEC? on Comcast Launches First Public US Trial of DNSSEC · · Score: 2, Funny
  2. Re:Prepare for all on Which Linux For Non-Techie Windows Users? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My *mother* switched painlessly to Ubuntu. The first step is training them to use Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, and VLC on their Windows machine. After a month or so of smooth sailing, install Ubuntu and show them where the new menu locations are.

  3. Re:Other companies are also working on this on Trash-To-Fuel Process Validated By US Military · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, this is the first company I've heard of working on depolymerization instead of plasma gasification.

  4. Re:Why go to community college? on New Plan Lets Top HS Students Graduate 2 Years Early · · Score: 1

    My thoughts exactly. Community college isn't any different from high school except that it wastes less of your time. I could have graduated a year and a half early *without* the special plan, if I'd been so inclined, and if I had, I would have wanted to go straight to a real college (as it was I got to take classes for free at Middlebury College my junior and senior years of high school, which was my incentive not to graduate early)

  5. Re:Blockland is similar, but more interesting on Lego Creating Multiplayer Online Game · · Score: 1

    Then you probably saw the drama-filled forum topic surrounding the game I've been developing, based on the same Torque Game Engine as Blockland, but with support for the standard LDraw CAD format. If you haven't, you may want to check out the current svn (https://svn.bountysource.com/tbg/trunk/), or our development website, http://www.cemetech.net./ To be fair though, it looks like Lego has created a totally different game from Blockland with some of the same game mechanics I've been hoping to implement (being able to build your own vehicles for example)

  6. Re:Let'see.. on Ubisoft's Constant Net Connection DRM Confirmed · · Score: 1

    and we're sure it's not an April Fools joke released early, right? Or something from The Onion?

  7. Re:simple solution: on Interstellar Hydrogen Prevents Light-Speed Travel? · · Score: 1

    I think douglas adams had something to say on that subject.

  8. facebook private? on Google Buzz — First Reactions · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Facebook, private by default? What is this nonsense!

  9. Re:Uninsurable on Routine DNA Tests For Newborns Mean Looming Privacy Problems · · Score: 1

    Obligatory "here comes Gattaca"

  10. Re:Eclipse PDT? on Eight PHP IDEs Compared · · Score: 1

    Eclipse in general is a pain in the ass. I've never used Komodo IDE because I have no interest in BUYING an IDE for hobby development, but Komodo Edit is a joy to use, so I would think that Komodo IDE can only be better.

  11. Re:That's hardly a benchmark on Freeciv As Benchmark of HTML5 Canvas Javascript Performance · · Score: 1

    i'm pretty sure i've seen that :(

  12. Re:Cheating on PS3 Hacked? · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly sure both of those are sound options....

  13. volcanic eruption == "nuclear winter"? on Humans Nearly Went Extinct 1.2M Years Ago · · Score: 0

    Terminology fail, amirite?

  14. Re:It's a Free Market on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Shaming Fat Gamers · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's only one level deep, so it's more like plain old meta-suck.

  15. Re:OMG! on English Shell Code Could Make Security Harder · · Score: 1

    hey man, you want to try some snow crash?

  16. Re:Spread the word! on Vatican Debates Possibility of Alien Life · · Score: 1

    Or look at the treatment of OSC's Pequeninos.

  17. Re:Of course, there is another solution on Vatican Debates Possibility of Alien Life · · Score: 1

    That post makes it pretty clear that you aren't a mathematician or a scientist, because you seem to be unaware of the distinction between inductive reasoning (the process by which natural sciences--and theology progress) and deductive reasoning (the process by which mathematics and computer science progress).

  18. Re:paper in your wallet on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    Or just memorize them.

  19. Re:This proves one thing on Secret Copyright Treaty Leaks. It's Bad. Very Bad. · · Score: 0, Troll

    *cough* yes, I voted Ron Paul *cough*

  20. Re:Who wants to update?? on Mac OS X 10.6.2 Will Block Atom Processors · · Score: 1

    to be fair, how many of the hackintosh crowd are actual OS X owners and didn't just torrent the DVD from TPB?

  21. Re:From www.BarackObama.com on Attorney General Says Wiretap Lawsuit Must Be Thrown Out · · Score: 1

    Your reasoning is impeccable good sir, and I stand corrected.

  22. Re:From www.BarackObama.com on Attorney General Says Wiretap Lawsuit Must Be Thrown Out · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Obama - "Change we can forget about."

  23. Re:Configurable on Should Computer Games Adapt To the Way You Play? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Only configurable? Did no one else immediately thing of the Fantasy Game and how it responded to Ender's needs?

  24. Re:41? on BSA Says 41% of Software On Personal Computers Is Pirated · · Score: 1

    We're not talking about album sales here. We're talking about software sales. I'm not saying your overall point is incorrect, but find statistics relevant to the topic at hand. And quite honestly, I'd say 41% is BS. Maybe 40% of Windows XP installations are pirated, but I know very few people who don't pay for things like Office, Photoshop, etc.

  25. Re:The unholy shit on Microsoft Plans Largest-Ever Patch Tuesday · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if this was an attempt at trolling, or just random wtf-age, but I was legitimately amused by it.
